Famous quotes containing the words attitudes and/or children:
“Normal life cannot sustain revolutionary attitudes for long.”
—Milovan Djilas (b. 1911)
“Children of the middle years do not do their learning unaffected by attendant feelings of interest, boredom, success, failure, chagrin, joy, humiliation, pleasure, distress and delight. They are whole children responding in a total way, and what they feel is a constant factor that can be constructive or destructive in any learning situation.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
